(bouvier) | ALIEN, persons. One born out of the jurisdiction of the United States, who

2. Aliens are subject to disabilities, have rights, and are bound to
perform duties, which will be briefly considered. 1. Disabilities. An alien
cannot in general acquire title to real estate by the descent, or by other
mere operation of law; and if he purchase land, he may be divested of the
fee, upon an inquest of office found. To this general rule there are
statutory exceptions in some of the states; in Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Louisiana, New Jersey, Rev. Laws, 604, and Michigan, Rev. St. 266, s. 26,
the disability has been removed; in North Carolina, (but see Mart. R. 48; 3
Dev. R. 138; 2 Hayw. 104, 108; 3 Murph. 194; 4 Dev. 247; Vermont and
Virginia, by constitutional provision; and in Alabama, 3 Stew R. 60;
Connecticut, act of 1824, Stat. tit. Foreigners, 251; Indiana, Rev. Code, a.
3, act of January 25, 1842; Illinois, Kentucky, 1 Litt. 399; 6 Mont. 266
Maine, Rev. St,. tit. 7, c. 93, s. 5 Maryland, act of 1825, ch. 66; 2 Wheat.
259; and Missouri, Rev. Code, 1825, p. 66, by statutory provision it is
partly so.
3. An alien, even after being naturalized, is ineligible to the office
of president of the United States; and in some states, as in New York, to
that of governor; he cannot be a member of congress, till the expiration of
seven years after his naturalization. An alien can exercise no political
rights whatever; he cannot therefore vote at any political election, fill
any office, or serve as a juror. 6 John. R. 332.
4.-2. An alien has a right to acquire personal estate, make and
enforce contracts in relation to the same - he is protected from injuries,
and wrongs, to his person and property, his relative rights and character;
he may sue and be sued.
5.-3. He owes a temporary local allegiance, and his property is
liable to taxation. Aliens are either alien friends or alien enemies. It is
only alien friends who have the rights above enumerated; alien enemies are
incapable, during the existence of war to sue, and may be ordered out of the
country. See generally, 2 Kent. Com. 43 to 63; 1 Vin. Ab. 157; 13 Vin. ab.
414; Bac. Ab. h.t.; 1 Saund. 8, n.2; Wheat. Dig. h.t.; Bouv. Inst. Index,
